Do you have what it takes as an individual to become the next “unicorn” entrepreneur? To follow on to the steps of Richard Branson, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk? Do you have a killer idea, an economic sense and the seed capital to start it up? What’s next? What is the story with all these entrepreneurs and small firm start-ups?
